What to Bring to Your Next Picnic

Heading out on a bicycle built for two? This sturdy basket made of white ash (the same wood that's used for baseball bats) will carry up to 50 pounds of picnic bounty. A quick-release style lets you attach the basket easily and securely to your bike, while removing it just as smoothly. You might get inspired to take your picnic to Paris. Or at the very least, pick up a baguette.

Few things are more romantic than a meal on a soft patch of grass. But without the right accessories, you may be dealing with unwanted guests to spilled wine, squishy blueberries and a blazing sun. Avoid all that with these tools and tips.
